In literature and in life, halcyon moments are integral to our development as individuals. In the story “Lifeguard” Chris’ halcyon moment is when he is, “high diving, [Chris] like[s] everything about it, the swing of [his] back [when] [Chris] climb[s] the ladder, the metal steps and rungs cold under [his] feet and hands. [Chris] even like[s] the way [his] stomach falls away when [he] get[s] to the top and [can] feel the pebbly grain of the platform under [his] feet” (Scott p.22 line 20-23). The…

Shot Stopping: Soccer vs. Ice Hockey Goalies Have you ever realized the differences between soccer and hockey goalies? They are different in their equipment, positioning, rebounds, penalties, and how they save different shots. I will describe how soccer and hockey goalies have differing shot-stopping abilities, but also tell you why these two goalies have a few important similarities. Soccer is a physical sport that is played with eleven players on a grass or turf field. The eleven players are…

As teams get eliminated from the playoffs, injuries that players were battling through inevitably come to light. Players shuffle off in a long line to their surgeons, physical therapists, and physicians to repair themselves before it all begins again in a couple months. This is also a time that certain hockey fans – you know the breed – come out of the woodwork to laud these battered soldiers’ toughness and grit. They come equipped with memes comparing their hardy hockey heroes to those pansies…

on the ice, watching hockey games on tv and going to them. Out of nowhere a friend grabbed me and brought me to the locker room. Of course me I got dressed the fastest and was waiting to go out on the ice. I looked out of the locker room and onto the ice and it looked like I was looking at a cold ice cream machine fogged up. Our coached gathered us in the locker room, and gave us a pep talk, and it was time to go out on the ice.…

It is hard to say that a game in the NHL has no effect on you in the playoffs. However, if there was it would have to be game one of the regular season. The game was the New York Rangers vs the Chicago Blackhawks, the pregame would be the banner raising ceremony for the 2015 Stanley Cup Champions. Then, after what seemed like a ceremony that took 2 hours long it was game time. The puck dropped and the season started, and it would be the Rangers on the board first with and goal by Oscar Lindberg,…

his face red. The Grandson is having a great time watching his Grandfather making circles on the ice rink. I think they are both competing and trying to see who can make bigger circles ice skating.

To be able to skate with your Grandfather in snowy weather, you must enjoy the weather. When I visit my…

incredible sport of Ice Hockey for over 10 years now. Although it has become steadily easier, and more about sharpening skills than developing them, in the beginning it was extremely difficult. The progress I have made since when I first began playing is immeasurable. I have come as far as I have in hockey through all the years of support from my father, because he’s always been happy to watch me play competitively. When I first began he helped me by buying me a brand new pair of skates to…

back from what I was passionate about - playing ice hockey. A tough dilemma to tackle, whether I was going to give up hockey or find a different way to play hockey. The Seal rule was a motivation for me to aim for 100% instead of performing at 40% in hockey and in life. It is a reminder that each time I encountered an obstacle or challenge, I had to tell my brain anything is possible with dedication and effort. My dad introduced me to ice skating when I was 4 years old. I liked…

that we played together. We have been playing hockey ever since I can remember. The way we found out about Colin was through our other friend who used to play with us and his dad played with Colin Chalk. Now all I can think about is getting on the ice. The camp was from Monday to Friday for nine hours. We had to bring lunch and a snack. The schedule each day was to arrive at 8:30 AM, go on at 9:00…
